Two disks have been done in the past and if they're needed they'll be used again, it's not costing them much anyways. more than 1 disk will hamper gameplay quality. if its pc, then you can pop in as much disk as u want during installation, while playing its totally seamless ! just imagine 2 disks on consoles, u get to one part of the game where it asks you pop in another disk to continue - u do it, and then when u r returning back, again the same message, for a sandbox type of game like GTA it doesnt work at all, since the game is all about free roaming ! I'll be irritated highly, if the game asks me to switch disks everytime i keep moving between places ! But if there are seperate disks for sp and mp, thats fine with me ! arjun™, any idea how was the exp of playing blue dragon on three disks ? |

I think you are highly underestimating Rockstar and taking advantage of my post, seeing as how you know they won't make it inconvienient for the player and will generally make a more calculated division between disks.

"taking advantage of my post" -> thats funny ! |

Rpg on multiple disks work a bit differently to other games.u need to get to a certain part to insert the next disk.most space in a disk is not taken by graphics,sound is the culprit esp if its 5.1 ,7.1 uncompresed.
High res textures also take a lot of space,along with multi region language for pal regions.
Also they need to make the hdd compulsory or else they wont be able to make the game seamless(without any loading),if they still want to make the game loadless without the hdd then theyll have to start streaming right from the disk,which then again will take more disk space.either way rockstar is screwed.
Also the much hyped exclusive content shd come on live , so u still need the hdd.

core is a pretty useless version of x360 ! they should have phased it out much earlier just like ps3 phased out the 20 gig model !

Microsoft made such a song and dance over GTAIV in their E3 presentation you could almost have called it a hootenanny. Yet Sony didn't show a thing. Odd. If you were wondering why this was the case, put it down to Rockstar. Dave Karraker told 1UP the reason the game was absent was: We requested it. We sent an e--mail out to every publisher and said send us your videos that you want put in the press conference, and they never sent it. Not much more you can say about that. No, but we can sure as shit speculate. Snub? Maybe. Forgetfulness? Maybe. "Dog ate my PS3-version trailer"? kotaku.com/gaming/tardy/rockstar-didnt-feel-like-showing-off-gtaiv-on-ps3-279535.phppeace |

1UP: Why didn't you show Grand Theft Auto IV at your press conference? Why was it not there? Tretton: Well, Dave [Karraker, Senior Director of Corporate Communications at Sony Computer Entertainment America], do you want to answer that? Dave was in control of the content. Karraker: You want the real answer? 1UP: Can you give me both answers? Tretton: [laughs] Karraker: I'll give you the real answer. They didn't send us their video.1UP: So it's not anything like "well, the game's been shown on Xbox 360..." Karraker: We requested it. We sent an e--mail out to every publisher and said send us your videos that you want put in the press conference, and they never sent it. Not much more you can say about that.1UP: Can you guys say if you're going after any exclusive content ala Microsoft's two episodic entries? Tretton: We have some pretty good information in terms of what our plans are with Take-Two relative to GTA4, but I really want to make sure we get you all the exact facts, so we can get you something from Dave pretty shortly. [Phil Harrison dodged a similar question from 1UP last week, as well. "... we're actually working closely with them [Rockstar] on a number of initiatives, so I do know some things that are going on, but I'm not able to share those with you now," he said. -- Ed] www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3161348peace |
